Completely and utterly unrelated, but I have a question

[Guest guest]

If your daughter, who is in nursing school and therefore knows every bone and

muscle, happens to find a very very old human wristbone at a junkyard where she

had to drive a friend to do paperwork related to the friend's totalled car, and

your daughter is very excited about having found and identified this bone and

displays it on her shelf with a card underneath stating the date and the

location of the find, and then you tell your sister about it, and your sister

says " either go tell the police or get rid of it " , and you're thinking, " what

for? it's not like some detective situation, they probably buried all the rest

of the bones of this person, but maybe because it would be respectful to the

family of this person, if the police would even care to identify it... " , what

would you do?

Interesting...I would definitely bring it to the police, human bones shouldn't be in a junk yard.Subject: Completely and utterly unrelated, but I have a questionTo: mb12valtrex Date: Monday, October 17, 2011, 10:15 AM

You've said it yourself: she's in nursing school. She is in no position to know how old that bone is. Even if it's only 10 years old, that could provide closure to someone. It could put someone in jail. It could be ignored by the police. Who knows what will come of telling the police - but that's no excuse to not report it. It's a junkyard, not a graveyard. What if the owner of the junkyard is a murderer and she has the only evidence pointing to him? What if the rest of the body is there somewhere and good lord, what if there are *more* bodies? (Never let a writer speculate on found bone in a graveyard, especially one prone to start throwing zombies and vampires into the mix... )IMO, it would be unethical and inhumane to not report it to the police.

Thank you so much for responding. I work in the county parks and open lands

department as a clerk. I just got done asking one of our park rangers. They are

gun-carrying law enforcement officers. He said he'll call city police and find

out what to do and get back to me.

I'd be kinda worried if it carried some disease!!! I would definitely be turning it in.Have her take a picture, " it lasts longer. " ;-)

I'd put it under my pillow and see what the 'Bone Fairy' gives me. Jim

I’d report it. With DNA, ,maybe it would give a clue to someone who has been “missingâ€.

I find the whole thing with finding human remains a little chilling.  No one just " loses " a wrist bone.  I don't think the police will do nothing about it.  The implications of any human bone found are far too serious. 

I vote for turning it in to the police, too.
